A man who murdered a teenage Syrian refugee in a busy town centre street has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years in prison.
Alfie Franco, 20, stabbed 16-year-old Ahmad Mamdouh Al Ibrahim with a flick knife after confronting him in Huddersfield on 3 April this year.
Franco had denied murder but was found guilty by a jury on Thursday, following a six-day trial at Leeds Crown Court.
Judge Howard Crowson told Franco, who showed no emotion throughout the sentencing hearing at the same court on Friday, that Ahmad’s family had suffered “unimaginable” loss.
